It has been quite a long time since I have updated this thing, and I feel like there are few minutes in the day that I have time, or the energy to sit down and write and let everyone knows what is going on.
A lot has happened. Too much in just the last month.
I am working out on a regular basis now and have lost almost 15 pounds now. My appitite has shrunken and I love how I feel after a good workout even though I whine through the whole thing! I finally got through my first workout last week and LOVED it. I love how sore I feel after words. I love that my body feels good and that my pants and shirts are fitting more loose. I just love it all.
Tom is working out as well and is feeling good. He made a comment that he used to use his tummy for his mouse pad and because it is going away he will have to soon find another mouse pad :)
Tonight we are going to try and make brownies with almond flour and am excited to see how this will turn out as it will be something I can eat now that I am eating strictly PALEO (or at least trying to). I am basically eating as a cave man would have- meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, water. No sugar, no bread, no pasta. And most days, I do great with it. But there are some days (and those are usually the "I had a bad day" days) where ice cream or a cookie or some form of comfort food comes into play. But it really has made a difference in how I eat and what I look at eating. And how I look :)
Work is good. It is a relief coming to work and getting away from the stresses of life. How funny is that? Normally my job is my stresser, but it is now where I want to go when I am having a rough day.
Tom is finally getting more hours... picking up shifts whenever he can, which means we are not spending quite as much time together which makes me miss him, but that makes our time together that much more special.
We celebrated Tom's birthday on the 12th of Febuary by going to a movie and getting him an external hard drive so we can back up the computer.
And then for Valentine's Day, since we didn't need to get new brakes, Tom went out and bought me a cute new netbook that is red. I love it. It is perfect for me and I have now learned how to Skype which is allowed me to see my best friend and my dad both whom I haven't seen since my wedding. It has been wonderful!!!!
We are busy planning trips for this summer... one to Colorado to see my aunt get married to the man of her dreams Mike- and we simply can't wait to meet Mike. It took what seemed like years for them to get his visa from Nigeria so that he could come to the United States. They will be married in Colorado on June 12th.
Then my sister Jenn will be married in Wyoming on the 14th of August (which also happens to be my brother's birthday)so we will be heading to Wyoming for that.
I am excited for both of those trips and to be apart of both of thier days. I am sure Tom is excited too :)
We are also expecting out first newphew in just a few short weeks and are so excited for Logan to enter the world!!! Hopefully it will be an quick and easier delivery for Stacy and everything will go smoothly.
As for everything else, it has been a tough month. A lot is goig on in my life. I was released as the primary teacher from church which broke my heart. I understand though, being that I have been going through a lot that I couldn't committ to the kids like I should have, but it doesn't hurt any less. I just wish someone would have called and checked up on me before I released. I think that would have made the blow a bit easier to deal with, but I also understand that people have a lot on thier plate, so calling may not have been feasible.
Well, that's it for now. I'll post pictures soon, as we have a bunch from the last few months and I have just not gotten around to updating it. Hope all is well with you and yours.
